Why does !enfr no longer lead to WordReference but to Google Translate?

Indeed, !enfr did lead to the corresponding WordReference English-French entry before it lead to Google translation. For me, it is not an upgrade : should I miss Google services, I wouldn't be on DuckDuckGo.

Plus, WordReference seems more accurate than Google Translate and offers discussions about words and their translations.

I don't mind using !wref/!wrfe instead of !enfr/!fren but the bangs for translations into other languages made more sense and were shorter ( for instance, !enit instead of !wrenit).
